STORY TIME! My Highviewers i thought i experienced enough with being tall until this happened. I can’t tell you how many times I simply want to use the bathroom and be out my happy merry way like every women in this world. Whether it’s in a movie theatre, mall, restaurant or an airport you name it, it begins with the staring. After the staring comes the annoying questions to the point where you simply feel uncomfortable. There was one situation at the airport, it was after a long flight with a long line for the bathroom. This one lady asked me how tall I was, if I modeled before, if my parents are tall, if I played ball or any sports at that. I answered respectfully because she approached me with the upmost respect. However I overheard a conversation that was happening behind the lady I was talking to, all I could hear is I hope she can’t see over my stall cause the stalls are not high enough. The other lady said I’m pretty sure she can, there’s no way bathroom stalls are made for tall people like her. I tried to ignore the comment she made but something triggered my soul to say something back so I turned around and said to be honest I wouldn’t say anything because I get those type of remarks all the time but when you’re so loud in a bathroom speaking about something and someone you don’t know it’s hard to not intervene. For your so concerned comments no I can’t see over your stall and to be honest there’s no valid reason why I should see over your stall because I’m not a creep who likes to do that every chance I get to use the bathroom. You would think people in today’s age would understand that the jokes are repetitive and dreading.
My feelings at the time after me saying those words I felt angry and annoyed but relieved and happy I did that. I wanted to say something because there’s probably little girls or even grown young women that are not in control with their emotions being above average. I wanted to say something for women that are in my shoes that are still growing on how to speak up. I will be the first one to say that I wasn’t the person to speak up and defend myself in the past but with taking time to know yourself, learning what your worth is and then knowing what you deserve as a human being shoot best feeling in the world. It becomes very refreshing and rejuvenating to know that you stood up for yourself.
It’s crazy I actually have to talk about this and have to experience it pretty often but I have to because this topic needs to be brought to everybody’s attention. I never once thought to myself I would be made of fun of in an airport bathroom line because I was tall but hey it happened lol. I have to always think to myself what will happen when I have young girls in the future. I have to prep myself now so that my above average children can understand that God created them this way for a reason and there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be proud of that. So I’m saying my highviewers when you think you have experienced it all you haven’t. This world is crazy with people that haven’t been adapted to or seen people in this world different from them. I just hope this platform My Highview can you give a deeper look about above average women because it really is as beautiful as it looks.
With Love,
My Highview
